Cyber-Physical Security Audit for a Connected-Building HVAC System

The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Audit a connected-building HVAC + BMS for cyber-physical risk and deliver a 90-day remediation roadmap acceptable to the operator's cyber insurer.
This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, real-world data.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Apply ISA/IEC 62443 zones + conduits to a real BMS audit
- Map cyber-physical findings to MITRE ATT&CK for ICS
- Prioritize cyber-physical remediation by safety + business impact
- Communicate OT-security findings to executive + insurer audiences
